What does Patchouli of Rwanda smell like?

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. The perfume has been discontinued and is aimed at women.

Red grapefruit and freesia give it a fresh, floral-citrus feel. Green hibiscus adds a green tone, cedar blossom a woody side, and Rwandan patchouli an earthy depth. Fruity and spicy touches soften the accord. Lanvin Les Notes de Lanvin - I: Vetyver Blanc and The Different Company De Bachmakov have a close profile.
